History's worst inventions listed

A series of idiotic ideas have been detailed in a book, History's
Worst Inventions.

They include a wicker chair spaceship and an asbestos tablecloth.
Other useless inventions included anti-tank dogs during the Second
World War when the Russians attempted to counter the might of the
German Army's tanks.

The dogs, fitted with explosives, would be starved before battles and
trained to search for food under vehicles, where they would then
explode.

However, dogs often ran towards their own lines, blowing up tanks on
their own side, according to the Sun.
